Real Montana Ranch Round Up! Shipping Time
Вставка
- Опубліковано 19 жов 2024
- If you wonder why ranchers take the calves away from the cows when they are only 8 months old, this video will answer that question.
Separating cows from calves is one of the final steps in a year of Montana Ranching.
Real cattle ranchers only get paid once per year. That is at shipping time in the fall.
The calves are weened on the same day they are shipped. It is a stressful but rewarding day in a Montana ranchers life.

To those who think its mean to separate calves from their moms: It is necessary, the calves are old enough to eat on their own. With winter coming on, the mommas don't need to be using their strength making milk. They need to be in good shape to make it through the winter. Its better for both the cow and the calf, especially in a cold winter climate. If you left them together, the calf is more likely to wind up motherless anyway as the cow may not make it through the winter. As to the separation, they get over it in a few days.
Yep thats correct. People also have an issue with the tappin the cows on the butt to get/keep em moving. It is literally next to nothing for the animal. They move off pressure. The tapping is more about noise and putting pressure on them. In no way does it hurt the cow. At all.
Taint mean at all an', if'n one likes a good steak now an' then, it's just got to be done, an' I likes me a good fillet steak, yes indeedy!

When the kids used to get upset at the calves & cows bawling, I used to tell them it was just the calves starting school. Then it was ok. 😃
I got up, had some coffee,took a shower and went to church. Came home,ate some leftovers and now I'm in my recliner watching you herd cattle. Now that's contrast! Thanks Trinity!
My new Favorite UA-cam channel it's about real life some never experienced. There's nothing better than the great outdoors and Ranching is not what some think, it's a 24/7 365 day in day out. If you don't think Ranchers like this are the true backbone of America that's OK. Without Ranching we become vegetarian and I don't do no meat for me.
@Rich Cran what?

But in a German accent.
Not hard to understand
Thank you so much for uplifting my heart. My daughter was born in Whitefish, Montana, in '67 before it got "discovered". If I'd been there with the right man, I'd still be there........
I know absolutely nothing about cattle or ranching but I LOVE this channel. So glad I found it. There is something so calming and soothing about it. From the cows mooing to the sound a leather saddle makes. In this tech savvy automated world it really is great to go back in time to how our great grandparents lived in the 1800s. The GO PRO or whatever Trinity uses when he’s riding makes you feel like YOU are on the horse. So cool.
Amen 🙏 to that!!!🙏🙏🙏🕊
From a man with roots in the East Coast meat business, I can only say that I had no idea how much HARD work goes into this country's meat supply - THANK YOU!
Keep the cool vids coming, love the Montana scenery, and the touch of the timeless quality of ranch life in that part of our country!
Animals are why ranchers rarely go on vacation. So much respect for our hard working ranchers who feed us.
It’s amazing the things you all know like putting constant pressure on the bulls to keep them from turning around and running you over. I enjoyed the video. Thanks for bringing us along.
You all make working all those cattle look easy. The first cow we got we were clueless. It was New Year’s Day evening. It was dark cold and raining. Everything was so muddy we couldn’t get our trailer to the pasture so I not having a clue though I would just unload her and the calf and walk her back. She was halter trained after all….. NOT! Lol. She came out of that trailer like greased lightning dragging me behind like nothing. We chased her for miles up and down the main road for hours. She even got hit by a car and never even slowed down. I eventually was able to get the halter rope tied to our suv and then to our tractor to lead her back home. An experience I’ll never forget. We still have the cow.
Thanks for sharing.
😂
Great intro with the mooing. Something about it feels powerful.
Thanks for the video Trinity, we love you brother!
Hey, thanks buddy. I really appreciate you too.
Here in Australia, we call a ranch like this a ‘cattle station’, and I have worked on a few in my younger years. The first time I was involved in weaning the calves on a property I was working on, the hands I was working with left a a cow and calf in the yard as the last pair to be separated. Then the boss casually, suggested that I move that old cow out of the yard so they could get the calf in the pen with the others. I was a bit green at the time, so I didn’t realise they were setting me up. Apparently this old cow, was notorious for her bad temper, and when I walked toward her waving my arms to try and move her, she just pawed the ground once, and proceeded to send me over the fence. I was pretty careful after that.
I appreciate when you were explaining about putting pressure on the bull. Never really think about those things.
That’s some tough work and definitely a young persons job. Like many tactical occupations, the body starts saying no after a particular age. You’re doing great work for America. Thank you.
Great video Trinity!!
Thank you for everything !!!
Washington State🇺🇸
PS…… nasty booger
Is NOT cussing!!☺️
I love how you show in your vids the fun stuff and the not so fun stuff, keep it up!
Gracias for the hard work of holding the camera device while handling the horses 🐎 I already subscribed and I will be checking for the next videos…Y’all have a great day (Sunday)👋😊👋
I’m glad I found this channel, I’m laid up with influenza a and reliving childhood experiences thru your videos!! I was always a cutter on my fast quarter horse. Excited to watch! Thanks for taking the time to do this for us!!!! I’m sure your wife helps with the videos and editing so Thankyou Mrs. Vandenacre!
The purple sage badge of ranching. Entertaining video and well done. 👍
So much work you guys do! I've learned a lot ! Props to you for your hard work you guys do
Good job. Impressive to get that many followers and views of ranching. It's encouraging that many people have an interest.
Thank you. It takes alot of work and editing to make it interesting enough. But I’m trying. 👍
@@LifeintheWest I know what you mean. I've toyed with editing mine, need to get a little more serious and figure out what people want to see, Mine have mostly been shot as I trail ride, Here is a summary of my 2022 year in review. ua-cam.com/video/VovNZtB_Vgc/v-deo.html
@LifeintheWest Hey, Trinity, on this 9/2/24 I m still trying to contact Bob . Know this is not the place but I am on locals but still unable to make any contact or connection with anyone. No connection to or with anyone. Please let Bob know. Thanks, Jimmy Rhodes 11:29 11:31 Jimmy 11:16
As a techer of English I was abre to learn a lot of vocabulary. This is done in Uruguay too. In fact, I was one of the helpers on horseback. Great video.
La vida del campo es muy chévere...
Gracias por esos vídeos. desde Mosquera, Colombia.
How different is what you're doing to separate them. When we were separating Roosevelt elk (wapiti) we ran herds through a purposely made barn and pushed them them through one by one into a "crush" to also give them any shots, like Ivermectin, etc
Then the little ones were put in a special field with green alfalfa hay (cut early)
This, though, is so spectacular. I just love it !
By the way...
I keep looking out for John Wayne. But haven't seen him yet :-)
Hola señor Trinity … is always a pleasure to watch your videos and this one reminds me of the movie “ home on the range “ where the cows get in a hipnotíc stage by a crooked evil rancher who wants to buy the ranch dirt cheap…It reminds me of the movie no because I’m saying you are like the bad guy…it just reminded me when the cows march all together by the way the bad guy yodeling singing makes hipnotic effect on the cows and it’s remarkable you have to watch it when you get a chance 👋😊👋 lol 😂
Great video Trinity! The wag bars are really good! I bring them to work with me and they take away the hunger!
I admire your control with the whip . . I am not so coordinated even with a rope . . good filming, we were lucky had a few steers just sold ours and the $ was good hope yours is too.
It’s looking good this year. I don’t have any cows however. I am just a Cowboy.
It’s crazy how animals have a stronger instinct to protect their calves than some ppl have with their own kids
this is such a great video of gathering all those cows. You make it look easy. Love your videos Trinity!
Dont worry a few swear words dont do any harm whether your from Australia or the UK or the States , sorting cattle can make a saint swear sometimes , interesting video ..and enjoyable , good to educate the city dwellers to know where their beef comes from !
Those long exhausting days are so hard but so satisfying at the same time! It takes skilled horsemanship to round up cattle. That comes from years!!!!!
Watchin' videos like this makes a person just wanna grab a good horse, saddle up an' ride on out an' git them "doggies" a rollin'. (Rawhide)😉 Great video!
Thank you. 😁
Love watching you work the cattle.
I'm a fellow montanan.. I love it.i grew up in Texas...so I love seeing real cowboys doing there job..
Dang that brings back memories. Thanks Trinity, you’re making an ol wore out cowboy remember the good times. God Bless and havagudun bud.
Calibar looks like he’s becoming a dependable partner now!
Well, I ordered me around $40.00 worth of the WagBar and going to give it a try. You made is sound awfully good. Thanks for the code, saved me little over $3.00. Great video, really enjoyed it.
Sitting by the fire, having a cuppa and this is causing me stress. 😳
Y’all are the hardest workers around. 💯
It seems like the folks who can perform this task smoothly and quietly are akin to magicians.
The animals stay calm and they weigh more on the truck because they don’t run off as much weight.
Interestingly at some of the ranches in certain states, we had to have a state branding inspector present in order to be able to ship a large calf crop.
What an amazing sunrise 🥰
I did enjoy that, it was fun. It would appear to be a tiring day, but not seriously hard work ? Was it? Lots of good old fresh air and exercise. You’ll live forever doing that job. Thanks for sharing.
That looks like an impossible job!!! 💕💕💕🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼💕💕💕 God bless you!!!
Here you are thinking ole Calibar might make a horse one day and little did you know a few short months later he’d launch you and leave you walking 😂. Poor ole Calibar he’s just to high strung.
Some of the ranches stated using the weaning rings in the caves noses. It’s just a temporary plastic ring that slides on, it don’t hurt the calf at all and they can stay with mom till the day before you ship. When the calf attempts to nurse the ring block them from latching a test. Seems to promote better weight retention and the are not bawling all week long. So you actually get to sleep that week or two till they ship.
We just weaned about 2 weeks ago and it was snowy and 10 degrees. It has not changed. Just more snow. I'm watchin yall wean and thinkin..yep that looks nice haha.
Also I cringed just a little watchin you struggle for a second on closing that trailer door. I've had cows get in and immediately say nope and turn around and blast back through while I'm trying to get it shut. Sketchy.
Uh. Yeah! It crossed my mind. Wasn’t a trailer I was familiar with so I was struggling a little while thinking, “Stay in you $!&@.” 😄
@@LifeintheWest haha I bet you were.
i lived above the feedlot in Shepherd and when separating started we all knew it, echoed up the hill.
Thank you for this very educational rancher video hellos from grand rapid MI 😊
Thanks for the tour! Keep making them Rib-I for me!😁
As someone that was never raised on a ranch or farm. Pretty awesome process to see. Looks like you have it pretty dialed in!
I spent 5 years in the Philipsburg Valley, I remember those days well.
Looks like that could wear you out at the end of the day. I guess getting your boots and Spurs dirty is just part of the job. I went and checked out the wag bars they don't have any and they don't know when or even if they're ever going to get any back or make anymore. That's pretty sad those things look pretty good. I've got the email address so I'll go back and check at a later date and see if they've still got them. Thanks for giving me that email address and having it in your description that made it a lot easier I can always refer back to this video. Thanks again for the video looks like it was a lot of fun, maybe. Stay vigilant!
Looks like you didn't have to hard a time separating them. Hope you get a good price on the calves.
Sorry,but hearing Trinity say dirty bugger is cracking me up 😂
I love this video i remember we always helped our dad Sort and it was always simmering going on but life changes and being a cowboy gets more expensive until it doesn’t make sense anymore 😢
That’s awesome! I want to come visit the ranch
Great video Trinity
Thank you.
gotta be stressful not getting paid every other week, different lifestyle, i appreciate the work you guys do.
Another great video. Keep them coming.
Everyone should Watch Trinity‘s channel. Let everyone to see what ranchers go through every day it’s not a easy life
nice to see a working horse wthout a bit
I have no idea why I want to ride this horse with a halter all the time. Just a wild hair I guess. 😁
good tempered horse that knows what to do that's all
I miss this. Grew up doing it from the time I was 9.
Reminds me of an old skit. "You 'ave been found guilty of the heinous crime of buggery on the 'igh seas. 'ow d'ya plead?" I think you just go with the customs and definitions of your home country. People are smart enough to figure it out. You might not have to walk th' plank. You got nothing on ol' Paul when he come with his semi to move our cattle to the south place. He didn't abide any stragglers did ol' Paul. Load 'em up quick, he did. Called them all sorts of names. I was just a young sprout then too.
It's just like weaning a eighteen year old only don't try during darkness they might freak out.
Exactly!!!! 👍👍👍
I just found your channel and I really like it
I am so glad. Thanks for watching.
Guy I used to work for said they liked to count the cattle's legs, then divide by four..... 🐄🤠✌🏼
Sorting cattle will make a preacher cuss
much respect you use horses to gadering the cattle, amazing job
Don’t apologise man, just do your thing.
Could u make a video about how to become a cowboy and what you need to be able to do to start?
Ps i realy like these long videos about you just working I’m now 16 almost 17 living in the Netherlands and it’s my dream to become a cowboy your videos are realy educating and fun to watch thanks for that.
Have a great day greeting Edwin 👍
If you truly want to become a cowboy just be prepared for some of the hardest work you will ever do...15 to 20 hour days is not uncommon and it rules your life... cowboying is not for everyone...but it is a very rewarding job and you fall in love with the lifestyle
really nice looking herd
Beautiful looking day...Another Awesome Video...If you see my question What are you holding in your right hand sometimes that's small is it a controller for a drone ? Thanks 🤠👍🤙
Mate your swearing has nothing on what comes out of our Aussie mouths. Seems to happen when working cattle. Enjoying the content, keep it up 😊👍👍
It's amazing how quiet it is now, at the end of the video...
It sure is a big contrast. 😁
Great video. Heard you say hon, was your wife working with you?
Thanks for how you're working to educate.
Yes. She is the dark haired one.
Nice video, enjoyed it!
That’s ok I don’t mind. It’s not here in the UK as we say stuff like that too.
😄
Looks like the weather turned for the best.? Here is stoon we have lots of snow . It has gotten nice out but still all white all around
I see you’re using paddles to move the cattle. I used to haul cattle out of Montana back in the late 70’s & 80’s and used hotshots to help load them on the semi’s. Don’t they let you use them anymore? Just wondering….
The paddles seem more effective when working the bigger groups of cattle and for sorting. For chute work and loading, a hotshot has it's use. These cows get loaded on semis several times a year so they rarely need the motivation to load. And the calves tend to load well too. But hotshots are still allowed.
great video, thank you.
You are very welcome. I am glad you enjoyed it! 😁
Love the politeness Dont worry buddy you should walk past a Farmyard in the uk and you’ll hear the foulest language about! 😅
I’d never make it as a rancher. It made me sad to think of the little calves missing their moms when they separated. 😂
Oh how I miss these times ✅😵💫😵💫
Trinity I just love your videos! It's like I'm right there with you! I think you would look better in a black hat in the winter I wish to give it a whirl
Hey Trinity, Are these calves going to an auction house or a grower? Also, another thing are you getting paid per pound or per animal when selling your calves?
They sell by the pound…
Just started watching your videos would like to talk to you about what I do for ranchers great video a
I just ordered my first 2 boxes of wag bars!!! So 😊 🤗 does anyone know what happened to all those cows that died over the summer??
Do you mean the ones that died in a feedlot somewhere in the mid west? Those are the only ones I’ve heard of. Don’t know what happened to them though.
@Trinity Vandenacre there was a big batch that went down in KS that dropped from extreme heat in June. We have had some weirder than usual weather this year, and nowhere near enough rain - true for most of the States lately, but it's been startlingly brutal down this way compared to average. So the loss is awful, but not too startling with conditions being as they are. I wouldn't be surprised if there's more cases than that one, it's just the one that was big news down here
That's the only way to start the day.
Good Job, Limp and all ...😁👍👍👍🤙✅
I am fixing to be moving back to South Carolina on 250 acres of land. I'm going to start a small ranch how many cows and and calf pairs will I need to buy. I'm asking for your opinion and your expertise as a rancher and cowboy.
Enjoying your video. My brother has been looking for a hat like yours. Could you please share any info to purchase? Thanks so much!
Neat video did you use a go pro to film it ?
Yes. I use a GoPro so I can still work.
@@LifeintheWest nice ! What model if you don’t mind me asking your videos come out really good !
I’ve always wondered what are the advantages of using a horse over a 4wheeler or ATV to move cattle. Are there disadvantages?
Maneuverability and more reliable on rough terrain
Question: I have a cowy quarter horse in Northern California and we do occasional team penning, sorting and that sort of thing for fun. I figured that ranchers used horses for the same thing. But in this video the sorting was done on foot, not on horseback. How come?
Hi there Trinity,do you use nils tags(electronic tags) in usa as we do in Australia they go in the right ear. cheers from western Australia.
Greetings. That wagbar looks awfully like a hersheys chocolate bar, atleast in the video. (8.30 pm) (+5 GMT). But your videos are very interesting specially for a city guy like me raised on Louis L'Amour story books. Amin from Pakistan
32* I go stove pipes and tapaderos with polypropylene underwear, a real wool scarf is fine riding too, we move Bison they do whatever you convince them is their idea, never on foot
This is cool!
Amazing job I like to have a job like that
Is that Canyon Ferry Lake in the background? My daughter lives in Townsend.
Très intéressant. 👍
I have friends in SD..real cowboys, they do everything on horseback, they don't sort in pens on foot with sticks.
